Inspiring Quotes for Wednesday, April 30, 2025
He who has peace of mind disturbs neither himself nor another. Epicurus The ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus posited happiness as life¡¯s ultimate goal. But he also believed that our human fears often stop us from reaching that goal, and that only in freeing the mind from anxiety and worry can we experience freedom and peace. In fact, the lifestyle we now call ¡°Epicurean¡± refers to one that focuses on the most basic joys of life: things like friendship, knowledge, virtue, and sense-based comforts such as food and good health. When we simplify life in that way, we can be at peace not only with ourselves but also with the people around us. Across millennia, Epicurus reminds us that the simplest pleasures, enjoyed in good company, are often the best. Mary Live long and prosper

Fw: Wordsmith (4/30/2025): A.Word.A.Day-- Lustration
Wordsmith.orgThe magic of words MooT - the Semantics and Etymology game The world's toughest language game. mootgame.com How to sponsor? Apr 30, 2025 This week¡¯s theme Words that aren¡¯t what they appear to be This week¡¯s words windlass monopolylogue lustration Elephants lustrating Queen Maya (Sanchi, India) Photo: Anandajoti Bhikkhu Logo of the Ukrainian Lustration Committee Image: Ukrainian Lustration Committee / Wikimedia A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg lustration PRONUNCIATION: (luhs-TRAY-shuhn) MEANING: noun: 1. An act of purification by means of rituals. 2. The purging of those associated with crimes committed under an earlier regime. ETYMOLOGY: From Latin lustrare (to make bright). Earliest documented use: 1614. NOTES: If you¡¯ve ever tried to cleanse your browser history or remove the lingering influence of a previous group project gone wrong, congratulations -- you¡¯ve dabbled in lustration. Originally used for religious or ceremonial purification, lustration was what you did when your crops failed, your city got a plague, or someone angered Jupiter by parking a chariot in a fire lane. Think of it as spring cleaning for your soul. In modern political use, lustration took on a sharper edge. After the fall of totalitarian regimes (e.g., post-Communist Eastern Europe), it came to mean the act of cleansing the government of people tied to past abuses. There¡¯s something poetic in the root lustrare, ¡°to make bright¡±. You¡¯re not just wiping the slate clean, you¡¯re polishing it until it gleams. Although some politicians subjected to lustration might prefer a dimmer switch. USAGE: ¡°No, he made his opinion evident by driving you out of his house at once, and indeed conducting a lustration, they say, after your departure.¡± Lucian (Translation: H.W. Fowler and F.G Fowler); The Works of Lucian of Samosata; Oxford University Press; 1905. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: I learn that ten percent of all the world's species are parasitic insects. It is hard to believe. What if you were an inventor, and you made ten percent of your inventions in such a way that they could only work by harnessing, disfiguring, or totally destroying the other ninety percent? -Annie Dillard, author (b. 30 Apr 1945) Something on your mind?
